In your other case (server is untrusted), DRM is unnecessary baggage;
you only need JS encryption/decryption that can be inserted between
the server and a <video> element of the user. This can be specified
and implemented without many of the concerns that people have been
raising about this proposal.
A solution that requires decryption of the actual media content in JS would be unacceptable from a performance perspective, particularly on resource constrained devices. The solution must be readily implemented with reasonable performance on devices at different ends of the spectrum, including TV/STBs (resource constrained).
Citation needed.
Do you mean some evidence is needed for the requirement that the solution work on constrained devices, or for the claim that JS decryption would not be sufficiently performant on such devices ?
